2025 Château Faugeres

The 2025 Faugères is attractive, but also a bit light at this stage. Red-toned fruit, blood orange, mint, dried herbs, lavender and white pepper lend notable aromatic presence. The 2025 is quite good, but stylistically speaking, it is very different from the past. Tasted two times. 
- Antonio Galloni (04/2026)

So much energy in this wine, with freshness, vivid cherry and raspberry character, fine tannins and bright acidity. Medium-bodied. How a 2025 should be. 70% merlot, 25% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon. (04/2026) 

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Faugères races out with notes of red currant jelly and red cherry pie, leading to touches of wild mushrooms, tar, damp soil, and dried mint. The medium- to full-bodied palate is plush with a racy backbone and a long, fragrant finish. The blend is 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. (04/2026)
